Abstract:The use of reclaimed water from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in agriculture represents a sustainable way to reduce water footprint. However, outbreaks linked to the consumption of contaminated ready-to-eat food (RTE) have frequently been associated with the presence of foodborne pathogens in irrigation water.
